"Gottbegnadeter Jüngling", so were the reviews that cheered the only 18-year-old highly gifted Burghauspieler. Oskar Werner, born in Vienna in 1922, always wanted to be an actor, right at one of the most famous theaters in the world, the Vienna Burgtheater. Already in 1941 engaged in this theater, he celebrated after the war years triumphant stage successes. In addition there were reading evenings with works by Goethe, Schiller, Rilke; recorded on many records. His performances in the Burgtheater became rarer; The film, however, began a world career: "Jules and Jim" (with Jeanne Moreau), "The Fool Ship" (with Vivien Leigh), "The Spy Who Came Out of the Cold" (with Richard Burton), "In the shoes of the fisherman "(with Sir Laurence Olivier and Anthony Quinn). His last 20 years should be deleted from the biography: Unnecessary topics and projects, clouded by unpredictability and illness. This brilliant actor died broken on October 23, 1984. His grave is in Liechtenstein, which he visited during his lifetime as a refuge in turbulent times.
